Shannon Sharpe, Anthony Edwards and Chad Johnson

Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson both discussed Anthony Edwards’ impact on the Minnesota Timberwolves in their playoff series against the Denver Nuggets. They praised Ant Man for his consistent behavior, whether the T-Wolves win or lose, as well as his willingness to speak his mind.

Furthermore, Sharpe noted that Anthony Edwards has the same confident attitude regardless of the outcome, which is admirable. He went further to contrast this with other players who only talk big when they’re winning, but disappear when they lose.

He standing on business, come either way whether you win or lose. I think Ant Man is the perfect face for the NBA. He got to be the next man up because he delivers on and off the court and he’s a polarizing charismatic figure.

Shannon Sharpe and Johnson agreed that Edwards is the perfect face for the NBA, where his charisma and ability to deliver on and off the court were used as instances. They believed that the 2020 NBA Number One draft also has the potential to be a leader in the league.

Overall, the conversation highlighted the next Michael Jordan’s unique personality and his ability to stay focused and confident, despite facing just like when they lost three games after winning the first two. His consistency and charisma have made him a compelling figure in the NBA.

Anthony Edwards on Karl-Anthony Towns not fouling

Anthony Edwards believed that Karl-Anthony Towns’ presence on the court was crucial for the Timberwolves’ recent success. He praised Towns’ defense against Nikola Jokic in Game 6, and noted once again that if Towns stays out of foul trouble, the team can win.

I think the main thing today was his ass stayed out of foul trouble like I told him in the Phoenix series. That was all that was. I cussed him out every chance I get, 'Bro, stop f***ing fouling.' I think you guys see it. If KAT don't foul, we pretty much can win the game, every time.
Anthony Edwards said in a postgame press conference

Towns’ impact on the game was extremely significant. He was the team’s best matchup against Jokic, as the Joker shot 40.9% from the field when guarded by KAT. This is compared to 51.4% against Rudy Gobert and 56.5% against Naz Reid.

While Towns staying out of foul trouble doesn’t necessarily guarantee a win, it improves the team’s chances and relieves the pressure on DPOY, Gobert. The Timberwolves fans would now hope that Towns can avoid future foul trouble in Game 7 to boost their chances of winning and qualifying for the WCF finals.
